BACKGROUND: Intrauterine insemination (IUI) is an effective and inexpensive method of managing patients with unexplained and male factor infertility. It is attempted before proceeding to more invasive assisted reproductive techniques such a…

Owing to its simplicity, transvaginal oocyte retrieval (TVOR) has become the standard procedure for oocyte retrieval. Despite being an easy procedure, TVOR is still associated with rare but serious complications. A high index of suspicion i…

Obstructed hemivagina and ipsilateral renal anomaly (OHVIRA) syndrome is a very rare type of Müllerian duct anomaly. Cases of OHVIRA syndrome have varied clinical manifestations. We report the case of a 15-year-old virgin with endometrial c…

BACKGROUND: Patients with polycystic ovarian syndrome (PCOS) have unique characteristics depending on its phenotype. Therefore, prediction of controlled ovarian stimulation (COS) response and assisted reproductive technique (ART) outcome in…

BACKGROUND: In practice, we encounter many young infertile women with poor ovarian reserve though ovarian reserve starts to decline after 35 years of age. One of the established risk factors for poor ovarian reserve in young women is endome…

BACKGROUND: Many factors were reported associated with the pregnancy rate of intrauterine insemination (IUI), which played key role is still debated. AIMS: The aim of this study was to explore related clinical pregnancy outcome factor in I…

BACKGROUND: Recurrent miscarriage (RM), defined as two or more consecutive miscarriages prior to the 20th week of gestation is characterised by multifactorial aetiology. The prevalence of RM varies from 0.8% to 13.5% amongst women of reprod…

BACKGROUND: The studies which investigated the relationship between anti-Mullerian hormone (AMH) level and abortion rate have conflicting results. AIMS: This retrospective study aimed to evaluate the relationship between AMH levels and abo…

Transvaginal oocyte retrieval (TVOR), done for the purpose of assisted reproduction can instigate enormous pain and therefore requires adequate analgesia with the least adverse effects. As the procedure involves retrieving oocytes for in vi…

BACKGROUND: Infertility is a disease of the male or female reproductive system defined by the failure to achieve a pregnancy after 12 months or more of regular unprotected sexual intercourse. AIMS: The aim of this study was to estimate the…

This case report highlights the diagnostic dilemma and therapeutic challenges encountered while managing adolescent girls with progressive dysmenorrhoea and management of Robert's uterus. Two girls aged 20 years and 13 years presented with …

BACKGROUND: Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) is a common endocrinopathy whose heterogeneous genetic basis results in a variable clinical presentation. One of the main clinical features of PCOS is hyperandrogenism which occurs due to dysregu…

Serous tubal intraepithelial carcinoma is a precursor lesion for high-grade pelvic serous carcinoma. The incidence is 0.6%-6% in tubectomy specimens of women who are BRCA-1,2 positive or have a strong family history of breast or ovarian can…

BACKGROUND: Infertility is a global health issue. The variation in the prevalence of unexplained infertility is attributed to the choice of investigation. There remains a knowledge gap on the impact of minimal and mild endometriosis on trea…

BACKGROUND: Microfluidics (MF), an advanced sperm sorting technology results in the extraction of spermatozoa with higher DNA integrity and lower DNA damage compared to existing conventional sperm sorting methods. AIMS: The aim of the pres…

BACKGROUND: The duration of cryopreservation of embryos and its effect on the subsequent pregnancy outcomes, when they have been frozen for a longer duration remains a matter of concern. There is a continuous debate among studies comparing …

BACKGROUND: Infertility is a world-wide problem and one third females. Over the years, anti-mullerian hormone (AMH) has emerged as a major marker of ovarian reserve. There is also increasing interest in determining the factors which can imp…

BACKGROUND: Hysterosalpingography (HSG) is radiographic evaluation of uterine cavity and tubal patency. AIMS: The aim of this study was to evaluate the safety and utilisation of HSG in female genital tuberculosis (FGTB) with infertility. …

BACKGROUND: Kisspeptin plays a role in the oestradiol negative-feedback regulation of GnRH as well as gonadotropin. In addition, kisspeptin has been postulated to induce the production of an important cytokine called leukaemia inhibitory fa…

BACKGROUND: Women with polycystic ovarian syndrome (PCOS) often have anovulatory infertility requiring ovulation induction with letrozole. AIMS: This study aimed to determine the prevalence and phenotypic categorisation of infertile PCOS w…

BACKGROUND: Intrauterine insemination (IUI) combined with controlled ovarian stimulation (COS) results in higher pregnancy rates. However, there is still no consensus on the optimal COS protocol. AIMS: In the present study, we aimed to ana…

BACKGROUND: Elevated circulating anti-Müllerian hormone (AMH) in women with the polycystic ovarian syndrome (PCOS) has been found to have a detrimental effect on endometrial function. This may adversely affect the outcome of in vitro fertil…

BACKGROUND: Optimal incubation period for oocyte competence remains contentious despite intracytoplasmic sperm injection(ICSI) being in practice for 34 years. Dilemma exists as the current literature favors both early and delayed denudation…

BACKGROUND: Ovarian reserve declines with age. However, there are considerable ethnic differences in the decline of ovarian reserve between individuals. AIM: This study aimed to make age-specific percentile charts of anti-Mullerian hormone…
